Indium prices vary by purity level according to the number of mines. For 99.97 or 99.99% pure indium Metal Bulletin magazine s free-market prices ranged from 160 to 190/kg in 1993. Prices have trended downward since 1988. This, coupled with the fact that consumption increased during this period, is evidence that supply is ahead of demand. The most notable production increases have occurred at Indium Corp. of America, Nippon Mining Co. Ltd., Cominco Ltd., and Metaleurop S.A. The largest increase was made by Indium Corp. A 30-t increase was announced in 1988 in 1993 Indium Corp. announced plans to increase production by another 30 t to be phased in with demand, bringing the company s actual and planned increases to 60 metric tons over the 1988 level. 

Prices are only published in the ljmdon Metal bulletin. In June 1997, the following equivalent prices per kilogram of FeV and V205, respectively, were reported (26) 18.40—18.90, on the basis of metals containing 70—80% V, and 3.75— 3.80, based on minimum oxide of 98% %(%. 

The London Metal Bulletin (LMB) publishes twice a week a price for wolfinmite ore concentrate. This published price reflects concluded transactions of the previous half week reported by producers, consumers, and traders. The price quotation is presented as a range between high and low, and is related to relatively clean standard-grade wolframite ore concentrate (>65% WO3). The content of dangerous impurities (P, As, S, Ca), as well as lower WO3 concentrations, decrease the price (for example, if the concentration of Ca exceeds 1%). Most likely, Ca is contained as scheelite and will depress the digestion yield. 

Price quotations for ferrotungsten are published by the London Metal Bulletin and by Metalsweek N.Y., in US /kg W. Prices for scheelite ore concentrates always orientate around the wolframite price. Besides these price quotations, since 1989 quotations for APT have also been published (in MTU for Europe and STU for USA). Different price quotations for USA and Europe exist, because the US. market is somewhat stronger an not as competitive.
